Sandbox - 19oct18

[WASHINGTON—President Trump is elevating the issue of immigration, which drove his 2016 campaign, with the aim of animating Republican voters in a midterm election that threatens to derail his agenda if Democrats retake the House. Mr. Trump’s latest comments came Thursday as he warned about an “onslaught” of migrants reaching the southern U.S. border with Mexico and threatened to deploy the military if the caravan isn’t stopped.]

Comments

John Harwood of NBC says he’s an “angry white male” but he (Sayoc) claims to be Filipino and Seminole Indian. The Seminoles are saying they don’t know him but since 1/1024% Indian blood gets you affirmative actioned into Harvard Law and the “Pow Wow Chow” cookbook I think we get to call him Native American.

He’s certainly not nearly white enough to work for the Sierra Business Council!!

Oh Todd since the left his accepted that 1/1024 is the cutoff for belonging to any group he’s all of those! I myself belong to the Comanches, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, the toastmasters, the league of women voters and I’m a leprechaun!

“The worst tendency in our politics is to tell people what they should believe based on their race or religion or color or creed,” continued the president, “We reject the politics of division, and we embrace the unity of being American.”

The crowd cheered, waving their red “Make America Great Again” hats in the air.
“The Democrats are very nervous. They do nothing for you, and [your vote] was supposed to be automatic,” President Trump said.

“Our agenda of America First belongs to every citizen,” President Trump continued, “Why is [‘America First’ called] racist? — Does everybody in this room agree, you’re living in America. America first, right?”

Question: With the felonies on the suspect’s record, how did he remain a registered Republican? He was, under FLA law, to be flushed from the voter rolls unless he applied for his vote to be restored by the Florida Clemency Board. Don’t make sense. Maybe someone sued under the guise of voter suppression and his name was put back on the rolls. More to be revealed

Irony alert. Florida has a ballot initiative to restore voting privileges to the convicted felons, some sitting in prison, lol.

Nah, no pardon. The suspect will rot in jail and they will throw the keys away. He (assuming his gender if that’s ok) targeted the wrong political side. And the Leftinistas know how to actually harm people.

On Thursday, nearly three weeks after Kavanaugh's confirmation, NBC News published an article headlined, “New questions raised about Avenatti claims regarding Kavanaugh,” that detailed "inconsistencies" with Swetnick’s claims. In the article, NBC News admitted the unidentified woman repudiated the sworn statement Avenatti provided to the Senate Judiciary Committee on her behalf to corroborate Swetnick's claims.

“Reached by phone independently from Avenatti on Oct. 3, the woman said she only ‘skimmed’ the declaration. After reviewing the statement, she wrote in a text on Oct. 4 to NBC News: ‘It is incorrect that I saw Brett spike the punch. I didn't see anyone spike the punch...I was very clear with Michael Avenatti from day one,’” NBC News reporters Kate Snow and Anna Schecter wrote on Thursday.

"I would not ever allow anyone to be abusive in my presence. Male or female,” the woman told NBC when pressed about Avenatti and his client’s claims, according to NBC’s report.

“I will definitely talk to you again and no longer Avenatti. I do not like that he twisted my words,”

Upright I: “No country can maintain its character and purpose if it has what amounts to open borders. A common language is lost, there are fewer incentives to assimilate and immigrants can bring with them their own agendas and objectives. The hyphenating of various ethnic groups is proof enough that they seem to be less willing to be called simply Americans.” —Cal Thomas

Upright II: “The Democrats’ hatred reminds me of the time someone asked Israel’s Golda Meier when she thought there would be peace in the Middle East. She said it would only happen when Palestinians start loving their children more than they hate the Jews. It’s the same for America in 2018. Our political civil war will end only when the Democrats start loving their country more than they hate Donald Trump.” —Michael Reagan

Braying Jenny: “I think the president of United States should take responsibility for the kind of violence that we are seeing for the first time in different ways. I think the president of the United States has been dog-whistling to his constituency, making them believe that their problems are caused by those people over there.” —Rep. Maxine Waters, who recently told her followers to harass Trump officials and supporters

On a recent campaign swing through the Silver State for gubernatorial nominee Steve Sisolak, Democratic National Committee Chair Tom Perez touted Nevada as a "model" for the blue wave.

Still, Democrats haven't been able to garner mass enthusiasm for their ticket two weeks away from November.
At the top of the ticket both Republican senator Dean Heller and attorney general Adam Laxalt, the GOP's nominee for governor, are favored to win their races.

Judging by the economy and the betterment of everyday life from sea to shining sea, I will take Trump's over "O"loser any time.
You can keep shining the Muslims shoes all you like.
" Those jobs just ain't coming back. Deal with it." Barry.
They sure have. and "he didn't do that".

Candance Owens who is labeled as a White Supremist by the liberal talking heads owns this nice white liberal.

“The emphasis that you place is always on having a discussion on race. You guys are insistent on having a conversation about race, and telling us that we should see, and implying that we should see race everywhere, and I don't agree with that," Owens told Ball, referring to "white, liberals."

"If you don't look at me according to the color of my skin, you would simply ask me how I thought Trump was doing as a president. Instead, you try to drum up a conversation that is surrounded by race by asking me if there are enough black people in the White House," Owens said.

Good one. “If you don’t look at me according to the color of my skin, you would simply ask me how Trump was going as a President. Instead, you...” Excellent thought process, Candance.

Funny how not one Unhinged Leftinista condemned the violence that descended on Susan Collins. Not a peep. The Left does not own the high ground, never had, never will. This weekend the Lamestream Media will go full out to make Trump the responsible party...and call for him to apologize. Never happen. The Left’s bad behavior must never be awarded. They brought this upon themselves and cheered it.

An Arizona State University study issued this week claimed that 25 percent of 769 students surveyed last year had suffered high levels of stress and symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) when Donald Trump was elected president two years ago.

As someone who had the honor to serve our great nation in the Army for 28 years – including in combat in Afghanistan and elsewhere with heroic soldiers who suffered physical wounds and the invisible wounds of post-traumatic stress – I find the whole premise of this study to be both absurd and insulting.

The study is an insult to every combat veteran, law enforcement officer, or victim of physical or emotional violence – along with their loved ones. It openly mocks those truly confronted with trauma and experiencing post-traumatic stress.

Seeing the candidate you supported lose an election – in this case Hillary Clinton in 2016 – is not a traumatic event. It’s called democracy. For young people accustomed to coddling and participation trophies, not getting your way might seem unfair. But in reality, it’s not. It’s life.

The most interesting aspect of this silly study was that it never even defined what symptoms students experienced to lead to the conclusion that they were suffering from post-traumatic stress

Is the media the enemy of the people? Some are. Georgetown Prep, the afterbirth. Pretty good read:

“Balance and accuracy aren’t just abstract concepts. They are part of the explicit promise that news outlets make to the public they claim to serve.......

“If there has been any self-reflection from the press in the aftermath of their barrage, it has been hard to find. We’ve seen no contrition for the harms caused to many wholly innocent people, no apparent concern for how the haranguing may have affected our community or the young people in our care.

“We pointed out many of these problems in the reporting to our hometown paper, the Washington Post, and urged them to put serious thought to it. Instead, we got a reply that lectured us on the subtleties of journalism and insisted that they had done nothing wrong. Then, incredibly, they asked if they could sit in on student classes and ask them “about the negative fallout.

State officials released late last week a final draft of regulations governing the cannabis industry, which could grant legal access to cannabis statewide despite a local jurisdiction's say on the matter.

On Tuesday, the Truckee Town Council voted to send a second letter to the Bureau of Cannabis Control with concerns that the new rules may limit local control over the industry.

"The state is taking away the authority that's been granted to our local jurisdiction," said Mayor Carolyn Wallace Dee.

Proposition 64 granted local governments the ability to allow cannabis and come up with methods, if any, to regulate how these businesses could operate in town limits. Under the Bureau of Cannabis Control's new regulations, cannabis deliveries would be authorized in any jurisdiction in the state, taking away a town's ability to allow or prohibit commercial cannabis.

It must be the money hungry politicians thinking of the revenue.

But dope smokers are going to buy from the dude down the street, and not the high dollar store fronts.
The tax evasion cops will be really working overtime.

Todd, if you got the time, listen to the first five minutes of this audio sometime; the intro to the program. Just rambling, but fun story. Reminds me of going over to the Union and saying something about the Hillary and the DNC funding and laundering money for the Yellow Shower Dossier...and they say proove it!, lol. Don’t got time or space to explain it all, certainly not for those know-it alls. . No, do your own schooling. Or like Dr. Rebane teaching yet another class on Climate Change science in a comment or two.... or somebody talking about what are SJWs are up to currently. It’s like they never heard of such talk. Not surprising since they all hangout reading their bubble news. Never heard of such a thang. Must be an Alex Jones spy! Waning, warning. Mercy.

po ol Todd and Toes,,,living in their far right news cesspools,,,obviously no FAKE NEWS, or any hint of BIASED NEWS at bongino.com, freebeacon.com, epochtimes.com, zerohedge.com, thefederalist.com, heritage.org,,,

,,,here is one fact check of the puss leaking from their chosen links,,,originating with freakshow Ted Nugent

Here is another,,,,from Heritage reprinted from the Federalist,,,talk about a circle jerk!!!

López Rivera was not directly linked to any specific bombings.[4][6] Many considered him to be the world's longest-held political prisoner, with a number of political and religious groups calling for his release.[7] U.S. President Bill Clinton offered López Rivera and 13 other convicted FALN members conditional clemency in 1999, which he rejected. On January 17, 2017, President Barack Obama commuted López Rivera's sentence and he was released on May 17, 2017, after 36 years in prison. López Rivera had been incarcerated longer than any other member of the FALN.[8] On February 9, 2017,[9] he was moved from an Indiana prison to Puerto Rico, where he completed the last three months of his sentence under house arrest, before being released on May 17, 2017.[

Morning Mush Mouth “”M””.
You rock. Don’t forget the Great One, Mark Levine on your list of forbidden fruit to pick. Yummy for my tummy. M, m, mmmm good. Burp.
Looks like Manafort will get more time than the Madman Monster Package Maker for stuff he did mostly10 years before he ever met Trump, lol.

"There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments, and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance—that principle is contempt prior to investigation.” Chao.

Can conservatism survive if even making the conservative argument is criminalized? For that matter, can conservative groups compete in the market in the face of Chokepoint 2.0, which could cut them off from financial services? What if conservatives are excluded from law school or medical school? Can conservatives hope to win elections if Silicon Valley muzzles their arguments?

As outlandish as they may seem, those questions are very real. And these actions by New York, which Andrew Cuomo has sought to export to other states, are an abuse of power on par with the Democrats’ “John Doe” investigations in Wisconsin and Barack Obama’s weaponization of the IRS and other federal agencies against the Tea Party.

In essence, the stakes have increased. This is not merely a fight about policy, such as an argument about marginal tax rates or health care. It is now nothing less than a fight for freedom of speech for conservatives.

What could possably go wrong? go wron...go wron.....go wro........https://www.engadget.com/2018/10/26/sidewalk-labs-ann-cavoukian-smart-city/
Sidewalk Labs, an Alphabet division focused on smart cities, is caught in a battle over information privacy. The team has lost its lead expert and consultant, Ann Cavoukian, over a proposed data trust that would approve and manage the collection of information inside Quayside, a conceptual smart neighborhood in Toronto. Cavoukian, the former information and privacy commissioner for Ontario, disagrees with the current plan because it would give the trust power to approve data collection that isn't anonymized or "de-identified" at the source. "I had a really hard time with that," she told Engadget. "I just couldn't... I couldn't live with that."

FYI for those who have not read The Union today, there is an ugly piece trashing Mrs.Rebane's op-ed a couple weeks ago. I responded to it on The Union blogsite/Facebook commenting:

Mr. Heinen, I went back to Mrs. Rebane's piece to verify... she didn't use the word "bad" to describe Democrats, or "evil". Those two words didn't even appear once.

"Bill Clinton abused (Really? Abused?) several women, and so on."
Not really... Rebane did not use the word "abused", she used the words "sexually assaulted". Which includes rape (credibly accused, and she told others at the time who corroborated the story) and by so many groping episodes by the Clinton who was elected President that Gloria Steinem wrote an apologia op-ed in the New York Times that came to be characterized as "the one free grope rule".

And yes, rape and groping are both considered to be "sexual assault"... and groping is what the 17 year old Kavanaugh was accused of, nearly forty years after the fact, by Dr. Ford who could not remember who was there, where "there" was, when it was (not the day, not the month, not even the year)... and the people she did remember as being there didn't remember anything that matched.

"(She somehow failed to mention the child sex ring operating out of a pizza parlor by Hillary Clinton)."

Yes, she somehow failed to mention anything that never happened. Imagine that.

With a hypocritical flourish, you ignored the fact that the senior Senator from California sat on the letter from Dr. Ford for two months, only producing it at the end of the hearing, setting off a firestorm. Imagine another ten weeks of time for the FBI to investigate had Senator Feinstein handed the letter over to the FBI immediately.

"This nation is being torn asunder be tribal polarization, and because of this I encourage The Union to limit submissions to those who can surmount their hate for the "other.""

The irony, it burns.

I've never registered GOP despite voting in virtually every election since 1972. I rarely vote for GOP candidates and never without the pain of feeling forced to choose the lesser of two evils. But I don't hate you, and I suspect the Rebanes don't hate you either. They just think you are wrong. Not evil, not bad. Just wrong, about a great many things.

Sidewalk Labs? Interesting, I'd never heard of it. The idea of Google having any qualms about privacy is laughable of course. Thanks for the reference.

A bit of a suggestion for AlphabetCorp. They could easily set aside a few hundred acres near their Deathstar and build employee housing. Since they heavily favor new college grads, where to live is a big problem for the recently hired. The company could experiment with various types of urban design concepts and probably help their HR department quite a lot. No doubt the political correctness virus would creep into the algorithms, but you signed away your politics by taking a job there. If they used some sort of AI's for things like crime prevention, no doubt Tay's Law would take effect, but that's a problem for the future.

Todd, I asked you nicely to stop throwing the word "commie" around indiscriminately, and feel relieved for the moment that everything I write at The Union won't be seen as being in concert with your actions. You stink up the place.

No, I didn't write anyone at The Union or anywhere else to give you a timeout, but I did find the thread you were seen by them to go over the line on. Sorry I missed the exchange.

Earlier this week RR had a thread running about the word "invasion" and it's various connotations. The Nazi who shot up the synagogue killing 11 people in Pittsburg this morning wanted Jews dead because the Jews were helping the caravan of "invaders" coming to the U.S. The rhetoric of hate and racism incites yet another crazed individual for the second time this week. Way to go trumpskiites and the gun lobby who blocks reasonable arms initiatives.

Somebody needs to remind the cross one that these guys were wack jobs long before the 2016 campaign as the evidence clearly shows. The Nazi also hated Trump.

But hey never let a tragedy go unexploited is the motto of the left. So does anyone think that unleashing ANTIFA was a good idea? It was just empowering ALL the wack jobs because they think its open season. Just ask mad Maxine and all the rest. That was a Bernie bro in the Congressional softball game attack. People are going to die because of ______________ (insert what ever bill or candidate) is the DNC mantra now. Does that help?

To be fair, I expect that the handful of bonafide Nazis in the US are more pro-Trump than they are the other major Presidential candidates. The real thing were also pro-national healthcare, so the world is a complicated place.

I expect that Pol Pot would have been more in favor of Bernie Sanders than Donald Trump. The real question is whether the Nazis like the Roadrunner or the Coyote better.

Chants of ‘We love Trump, U-S-A!’ echoed across the East Room of the White House before, during, and after President Donald Trump’s address to hundreds of young black conservatives.
The President’s address was part of the Young Black Leaders Summit (YBLS), a four-day conference focused on millennial-aged, conservative black Americans. The student-activist group, Turning Point USA, is hosting the event.

squirm squirm squirm. Every time some psycho guns down a bunch of people the right squirms like a worm to make excuses and pass the blame on to anything or anyone else. "The killer hated trump" how absurd! It was the hateful anti-immigrant rhetoric trump spewed that sets nutcases off, regardless of the target. It is about hate, not politics but the politics of hate largely contributes to the problem. Every single person who got a bomb had been publicly attacked/threatened by trump. So some nut takes him up on it. That is the politics of hate. What is next, canceling the elections after the Whitehouse mysteriously burns down, martial law, closing the border?

if "never let a tragedy go unexploited is the motto of the left" then the motto of the right is "don't miss the chance to sell a gun and who cares if they kill a bunch of people with it. Money is more important than people's lives anyway."

No one can be surprised that the cross top bun one is not letting facts get in the way of talking points for lefties. "Reasonable arms initiatives' = gun grabs in PC speak. They work so well in Cali and Chicago don't they.

Looks like the Muslims in Gaza wanted to get in on the action on the news of the shooting here.
Plenty of rockets came flying out of Gaza unprovoked.
Israel returned fire, and now the Muslims complain. "It was the other guys!"(translation)

“My point is simply this: No one goes on a bombing spree because of something heard at a political rally. No normal person is moved to murder because he hears an ideological firebrand demonize his opponents. People who engage in mass-murder and other forms of terrorism are either committed to a violent movement or mentally disturbed. In neither event is that attributable to political rhetoric.

Of course we should elevate our discourse. If you want to condemn reprehensible speech because it is reprehensible, I’m right there with you. But let’s not pretend it’s something it’s not. Terrorism and murder are heinous offenses that we punish severely because they involve agency — the people who commit them make a conscious, individual decision, for which they are responsible. We should not, in order to score political points, trivialize such atrocious conduct by suggesting it has been triggered by purple political prose.

The company is coming under fire in the wake of the report because the series of events its Thursday report described occurred three weeks ago, before the Senate voted on whether to confirm Kavanaugh. The conservative jurist was confirmed by a narrow 50-48 margin on Oct. 6.

“What CNN omits from its headline, but is found buried in the article, is that even the previous $10-$19 increases are mostly due to workers making up for subsequently lost hours by working second jobs outside Seattle’s city limits.

Imagine you’re a low-skilled worker who received a cut in hours due to minimum wage hikes, and now you must look for a second or even third job far beyond a reasonable commute. All that to make a meager $10 more a week? Not exactly what I’d call a “boosted income.”

Not only does the cited study show that a quarter of workers were forced to pick up second jobs in effort to offset hour cuts, but it also reports that employee turnover decreased by 8 percent, accompanied with a significant reduction in the overall rate of new entries into the workforce. The study’s authors suggest that Seattle’s minimum wage ordinance brought marginally higher pay to experienced workers at the expense of reduced opportunities for the inexperienced.”

Funny how some people think they are important. I am usually the only person on the comments at the Union against a number of commies and liberals and socialists. Heck I even got physical threats from one dude last week. He published my address. Anyway, I submitted a column as I was told I had been banned from the comments only. We will see. And the outpouring of support for me has been great. Thank you to all on the email and FB. Of course, there are always those that take other peoples thunder as their own and claim some phony high ground. I usuall call them out and keep on trucking. And to all those that sit on their asses and don't help elect decent people, shame on you.

Justin Tolomeo, Special Agent in Charge of the Milwaukee Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation said in a news release Jeremy Ryan, 30, of the Town of Madison has been charged with attempted possession of radioactive material with intent to cause death."

Like any other left wing crazy guy or false flag graffiti emergency, it'll end up in the memory hole. No matter, the Blue Mob is the dangerous thing on a national level, not whacked-out individuals. Things like the 10's of thousands of Trump assassination threats on social media are just kids being kids indulging in internet-era speech. The Mob, on the other hand, is the thing that chases your kids out of restaurants and burns your car.

I see that the free-speech version of reddit (Gab.com) got suddenly kicked off it's hosting service because Nazi shooter guy posted some stuff on it. It seems to me that the Mob's final frontier will be political control of the actual wire to your house.
